Funding 101 for Mother-Founders

·

Renata Osei, Partner at Harbor Seed

Format

Live over video, with a recording posted to the archive within 24 hours. A Q&A slot follows the main session.

60 min · Live video, recorded

A live walkthrough of the funding landscape for founders who are raising while also running a household — where the standard venture timeline doesn't always fit around school pickup or a newborn.

Renata will cover the full spectrum of capital available to early-stage founders — friends-and-family, revenue-based financing, grants for women- and mother-owned businesses, angel networks, and traditional VC — with a candid read on the trade-offs and strings attached to each.

Bring your questions: the last 15 minutes are open Q&A, and Renata reviews submitted questions in advance so the most common ones get real answers, not generic ones.
